200!


This is the 200th post for The Queen City Buzz. Hard to believe this blog has been bringing you the Buzz on kid and family friendly activities in the Charlotte area for almost FOUR years. I started this blog right as my twins turned 2, and tomorrow they begin Kindergarten...time sure does fly by. I hope you enjoy this weekly post. If you know of events that I should include, please let me know. This blog is for YOU, and I hope you continue to find it helpful. Have a great week!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
